Comment: I have tried so many meds for my depression, and finally I found one that works with no sexual side effects. In fact, I've experienced very few side effects. It works for me in every way.

Comment: I asked my doctor to put me on this to help with the depression I was feeling after I lost my mother. I was always either so sad that I could barely function, or I was angry and screaming at everyone!

When I first started this med I had severe headaches every day, and had a lot of trouble sleeping at night (waking up about every hour). But those side-effects went away after about 3 weeks. I'm glad I stuck it out because I'm feeling so much better now. I'm still sad and a little angry that I've lost my mother, but the mood swings have disappeared. It's also helped me lose weight & although I haven't quit smoking, I only smoke about half as much.Hide Full Comment

Comment: I started this drug about 3 weeks ago. I've had every symptom on the list aside from vomitting. I thought it was alright for awhile, but it's giving me panic attacks, and I can't concentrate at work. This is the first antidepressant I've tried, I was hoping it would be the last, but I'm thinking about trying something different because the depression hasn't really gone away

Comment: My doctor put me on this medication after I complained of feeling depressed on zoloft after taking it for 2 years. I was experiencing weight gain, memory loss, fatigue, and extreme tiredness, making me a candidate for hypothyroidism. I had the tests and the doctor said he would like them to be twice as high as they were for "my condition" so he put me on wellbutrin. I really have no idea

Comment:My doctor put me on this medication after I complained of feeling depressed on zoloft after taking it for 2 years. I was experiencing weight gain, memory loss, fatigue, and extreme tiredness, making me a candidate for hypothyroidism. I had the tests and the doctor said he would like them to be twice as high as they were for "my condition" so he put me on wellbutrin. I really have no idea why he didnt give me thyroid meds. Ive been on this drug for 3 weeks and it worsened some conditions but made some worse. I feel like my body is ready is ready to go in the morning with a rush of energy, but i can barely stay awake after getting up. My memory loss has worsened dramatically. I can not hold a thought for more than 5 minutes.My hands and body seem to weaken randomly and begin shaking like crazy. I am going to an endocrinologist tomorrow to see what he says. The symptoms of this drug can make some people worse then better in the end. Hide Full Comment
